Imovbioh, women's basketball go 1-1 at Florida International Tournament

By Chanhong Luu | December 1, 2014

The Virginia women’s basketball team split a pair of games in the Florida International Tournament this past Thanksgiving weekend, losing in the last five seconds against Toledo on Friday before coming back with a double-digit win against host Florida International on Sunday. With less than 10 seconds left in the game, Toledo senior guard Inma Zanoguera dribbled the ball down the court, sidestepped her defender, Virginia sophomore guard Breyana Mason, and hit her fourth three-point shot of the night to give Toledo a 64-62 lead. With five seconds left in the game Virginia freshman guard Mikayla Venson, who prior to Zanoguera’s shot had hit a jumper to give Virginia a 62-61 lead, attempted a three-point shot of own, but it bounced off the rim to give Toledo the win.

Watch and learn

By Nik Samaras | November 25, 2014
